Delhi, on the other, had reined with 64% voter turnout 12% up from 2009 when it was only 52%. Delhi Election Commission officials said around 64% of 1.27 crore eligible voters exercised their franchise till 6 pm and the polling percentage may go up as thousands of people are still queuing up in various areas of the city even after the deadline for voting ended.

Sadly, though, the state of Maharashtra showed incredibly low voting percentage in all 10 Lok Sabha constituencies in the Vidarbha region. The biggest constituency in terms of voters, Nagpur recorded only 48% voting till 3 pm, while Akola constituency notched the lowest at 39%. Only 40% of the voters turned out in Yavatmal-Washim constituency. Among other constituencies, Ramtek recorded 40.3%, Chandrapur 43.49%, Buldhana 44%, Amravati 46% and Wardha 42%. The Maoist-affected Gadchiroli-Chimur constituency recorded 59% polling, where people came out in unexpectedly large numbers to exercise their franchise.
